Outdoor games. Grupa powstała w wyniku
wplątania się w pewną internetową aferę. Jeden z jej członków
odkrył strony sterujące siecią tzw. Dark Com`s. Strażnik adresu
natychmiast odpowiedział sankcjami. Od tej pory muzycy pod groźbą
utraty życia zmuszeni są do grania co jakiś czas dziwnego programu
według przesyłanego mailem określonego przez anonimowego strażnika
scenariusza (m.in. pakiet zawiera partytury). Program ma charakter
niezrozumiałych gier pod nazwą Outdoor Games. Cykl odkupienia
zakłada zagranie 241 871 koncertów.
MAESTRO TRYTONY is a musical undertaking by TOMASZ
GWINCINSKI, a composer, improviser, guitarist and drummer,
a leading personality of the "Music from Mózg" scene based in
Bydgoszcz, Poland. The "Music from Mózg" and its Gdańsk equivalent,
the jass scene (MIŁOSC, ŁOSKOT, KURY, TRUPY and other bands) became
notorious artists involved in the making of the most creative
and original Polish music throughtout the 90s. The evidence of
this notoriety can be seen in the approval that the two scenes
receive from both the conservative jazz press and the rock media.
This results in the growing number of festival presentations:
Warsaw's "Jass Jam Nights '96",a satellite of the Polish famous
Jazz Jamboree, a "Music from Mózg" Jass block of concerts during
the Poznań Jazz Fair Festival' 96 and Cracow's "The Jass Days'96
" all of them filmed for the 2nd program of Polish TV. Unfortunately
the music that the both scenes generate is still poorly documented
on records because of the malfunctioning of the Polish phonografical
market dominated by big foreign corporations. The experimental,
creative proceedings of the artists engaged in the both scenes
might be compared only to that of the modern New York underground
including JOHN ZORN, BILL FRISELL, FRED FRITH, ELLIOT SHARP, DON
BYRON or that of the Quebec scene with its RENE LUSSIER, JEAN
DEROME, ANDRE DUCHESNE.The Bydgoszcz Mózg (Brain) Club, a base
for jass activities, is sometimes called the Polish Knitting Factory.
It is the only place in Poland where avant-garde, or improvised
music is regularly played, FRED FRITH, RENE LUSSIER, NICK DIDKOVSKY,CHRIS
CUTLER, ZEENA PARKINS, JOEY BARON being among the star performers.
The original facet of the "Music from Mózg" jass production is
its modern classical chamber music overtones, the feature well
represented in the music of TOMASZ GWINCINSKI. MAESTRO TRYTONY'
s "Enoptronia" is a turning point in the record collection of
the scenes. This recording, inspired by jazz noncomformists (JOHN
COLTRANE, ALBERT AYLER, ERIC DOLPHY, ORNETTE COLEMAN) as well
as rock avant-garde composers (FRED FRITH, CHRIS CUTLER, FRANK
ZAPPA), combines improvisation with the modern classical form.
Doing so, it retains the rock energy, improvisational freedom
and wit, the idiosyncratic features of jass.The recorded music
flavors of the Polish soft romantic lyricism so characteristic
in the works of KRZYSZTOF KOMEDA. The personnel of MAESTRO TRYTONY
consists of both musicians of the two scenes and classically trained
performers. The quest star is ANDRZEJ PRZYBIELSKI, nestor of the
Polish non-mainstream jazz. TOMASZ GWINCINSKI, the leader and
composer for MAESTRO TRYTONY , is an artist appearing in the line-ups
of both the "Music from Mózg" and jass bands. Towards the end
of the '80 he was a quitarist with the Gdańsk-based MIŁOSC band,
today the best Polish acoustic jazz group. Then he founded TRYTONY
trio with which he recorded two CDs:" Tańce Bydgoskie" (1993)
and "Zarys matematyki niewinnej" (1995) .MAESTRO TRYTONY continues
and develops the musical ideas of TRYTONY. GWINCINSKI is also
a drummer with the most notorious group from the "Music from Mózg"
scene MAZZOLL & ARHYTHMIC PERFECTION . The band released three
albums: two of them were issued in 1995 and 1996, the third one
is about to come out in 1997. GWINCINSKI and MAZZOLL make improvising
duo under a name of "THE VOICE OF THE BLACK HOLE".GWINCINSKI's
other projects are TELE ECHO group and the GWINCINSKI- RICHTER-
SKOLIK trio, the latter having recorded music material for CD
which will be released soon. The chamber music score for a string
quartet and an improvising trio written for the "PERE UBU" play
performed by the Polish Theatre in Bydgoszcz sets a beginning
for the classically oriented composer works from GWINCINSKI.
